[QUOTE="silvercookie, post: 3478865, member: 581433"] capacitors act as a "electronic cushion" all they do is prevent major surges and voltage drops most of the time they are more dangerous than helpful cause capacitors can store energy for days and weeks and if you accidentally touch they terminals even with you're hands you can get a major shock. dont forget in cameras they use capacitors. even tho they are 300v at 20uf they are still strong enough to pierce your skin with the amount of energy stored. now imagine a 1 farad capacitor. that would be 1000uf that would be around enough to give you severe burns and possibly a heart attack/kill you. so when it comes down to the final statement CAPACITORS ARE JUST FOR LOOKS and i didnt copy and paste this. this is what i do all day long besides ride bikes i sit on my @$$ and read about electronics.
